(a) Make a list of all the injective maps
Show that none is bijective. (This constitutes a direct proof that a set
(b) How many injective maps
are there? (You can see why one would not wish to try to prove directly that there is no bijective correspondence between these sets.)

- Let be a relation defined on the set of all integers by if and only if sum of and is odd. Decide whether or not is an equivalence relation. Justify your decision.arrow_forward13. Consider the set of all nonempty subsets of . Determine whether the given relation on is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Justify your answers. a. if and only if is subset of . b. if and only if is a proper subset of . c. if and only if and have the same number of elements.arrow_forward21. A relation on a nonempty set is called irreflexive if for all. Which of the relations in Exercise 2 are irreflexive? 2. In each of the following parts, a relation is defined on the set of all integers. Determine in each case whether or not is reflexive, symmetric, or transitive. Justify your answers. a. if and only if b. if and only if c. if and only if for some in . d. if and only if e. if and only if f. if and only if g. if and only if h. if and only if i. if and only if j. if and only if. k. if and only if.arrow_forward

- In each of the following parts, a relation is defined on the set of all human beings. Determine whether the relation is reflective, symmetric, or transitive. Justify your answers. xRy if and only if x lives within 400 miles of y. xRy if and only if x is the father of y. xRy if and only if x is a first cousin of y. xRy if and only if x and y were born in the same year. xRy if and only if x and y have the same mother. xRy if and only if x and y have the same hair colour.arrow_forwardLet A=R0, the set of all nonzero real numbers, and consider the following relations on AA. Decide in each case whether R is an equivalence relation, and justify your answers. (a,b)R(c,d) if and only if ad=bc. (a,b)R(c,d) if and only if ab=cd. (a,b)R(c,d) if and only if a2+b2=c2+d2.
